On April 20, 2023, the European Parliament voted with an overwhelming majority – 529 votes for, 29 against, and 14 abstentions – to approve the first ever legislation governing crypto-asset transfers such as bitcoins and electronic money tokens. The law, which was agreed upon by Parliament and Council negotiators back in June 2022, seeks to ensure that crypto transactions, just like traditional finance transactions, can be traced and suspicious activity can be blocked. This new “travel rule,” which will apply to crypto asset transfers, will ensure that relevant information pertaining to the source and beneficiary of said assets accompany the transaction and is kept by both parties involved in the transfer. But what does it mean for crypto markets? Read on!
Ledger was a reputable service provider, primarily because it based its business on offering cold storage solutions and reassuring its users that they had ultimate control over their funds. Imagine the betrayal after that same company introduced a feature that essentially allows users to recover their funds without a seed phrase, as they would be the ones to keep it for you!
Of course, Ledger users expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Ledger’s decision to meddle with security matters. And wouldn’t you know it, Trezor, one of the Ledger’s biggest rivals, conveniently used this PR mess as an opportunity to attract the devastated Ledger users.

Crypto whales have been dormant for a dozen years. These are digital currency holders who were early enthusiasts and whose wallet value today stands at millions of dollars. However, what is unusual is that these users have not had any activity in recent years. Suddenly, several of them woke up from a deep sleep at the same time and began transferring funds to other accounts. What is it about and why now?
Ethereum is the second largest blockchain network and cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.
We’ve heard that before, of course, and there’s no questioning it.
But have you ever wondered what that means in terms of active network users and daily completed transactions? Or how Ethereum’s user and transaction volume compare to those of Bitcoin or Cardano? I know I have. Luckily, we don’t have to crunch all the numbers ourselves because most of the charts and stats we need are readily available at our fingertips.
With that in mind, here are some fun and useful Ethereum stats and facts you might find interesting to know.

In this article, you’ll find out what can Humane unlock with screenless technology, but they will share the actual results in the upcoming months. For now, I guess, we’ll just have to believe them. So, what they intend to do is to make technology invisible but to make its benefits and applications completely present, the way they are right now.
Ledger, the revered manufacturer of hardware wallets for cryptocurrency, has recently stirred up controversy with a daring update that has left many users abandoning the platform. According to reports, the update – which offers an optional “recovery services” feature – has raised eyebrows due to its alleged tendency to expose the seed phrases of users to the vast expanse of the internet.
For those in the know, seed phrases are the critical combinations of words that grant access to cryptocurrency wallets. The crypto community has expressed their concern about this update, and many believe that opting in for recovery services could compromise the security of their funds compared to hotter wallets such as MetaMask.
But what does this actually mean, and what could be the real implications for users holding their crypto in a Ledger “cold” wallet? Read on as we delve deeper into this topic!

It was the weekend of May 6, 2023, when the Bitcoin blockchain came to a screeching halt. The cause? A record high in unconfirmed transactions, which sent fees skyrocketing. Crypto giant Binance was even forced to pause withdrawals not once, but twice. And the culprit behind this chaos? None other than the notorious BRC-20 protocol.
But what is this “new” protocol, and how did it garner so much attention and controversy in such a short time? Read on to find out all about BRC-20!

The Woodlands College Park High School senior has developed a life-saving app. The Houston-based high school student under the name of Siddhu Pachipala has designed a smartphone application that has the potential to prevent suicide. By scanning text, the AI-based app can spot the signs of suicide risks. Pachipala, the creator of the app feels it might replace current diagnosis methods that are a bit obsolete.
To say that machines can have feelings sounds effective, but it is actually a banalization of a more complex topic, which we classify in the field of affective computing and which will be discussed in this article. The truth is that many AI experts are interested in how the human mind works, so that they can use these mechanisms to teach machines to better understand human actions by becoming more emotionally intelligent.
The sun has set on the era of a united internet as we know it. For three decades, the United States rallied its allies and private sector to promote a digital world that is boundless, interconnected, global, and secure. But, regrettably, reality paints a different picture. The internet today is a far cry from what we envisioned – it is fractured, restricted, and increasingly perilous. Alas, things are likely to worsen as time passes by. This is the principal discovery of the CFR Independent Task Force, headed by Nathaniel Fick and Jami Miscik.
The American policymakers believed that an open, all-embracing internet would bolster their country’s strategic, economic, political, and foreign policy interests. They assumed that authoritarian, cloistered systems would falter when confronted with the domestic and international challenges that a worldwide network would pose.
However, reality proved to be starkly different, and in some cases, reversed. The United States finds itself exposed to asymmetrical risks, thanks to its high level of digitization and a strong commitment to free speech. In the meantime, adversaries have evolved faster than expected, holding steadfast to their vision for cyberspace, devising strategies to achieve their interests, and making it more arduous for the United States to operate in this realm. Let’s explore how the US navigates these, treacherous waters.

For months now, Elon Musk has been eagerly and openly discussing his ambition to create X, an “everything app” that would feature various services, including financial payments. Essentially transforming Twitter into a bank would unlock new possibilities for this social media app and revolutionize the concept of social media as we know it today.
If these plans come to fruition, the X app would become a better version of PayPal, an online payments platform co-founded by Elon Musk. Musk recently criticized PayPal, stating that “What people see in PayPal is sort of like a half-baked version of what it could be, and so I think there is potential to create a more efficient financial system.”

In a bold endeavor to delve into the concealed recesses of the internet, South Korean researchers have introduced DarkBERT. It is an innovative AI model meticulously engineered to navigate the obscure domains of the dark web. Empowered with the capacity to index and analyze clandestine websites, DarkBERT shines a light on the mysterious and frequently illicit facets of online activities commonly shielded from public scrutiny.
